1 oz (30 ml) dark rum
½ oz (15 ml) dry curaçao
½ oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
½ oz (15 ml) orgeat
ice
crushed ice
sparkling wine, to top
mint sprig, to garnish

How to Make It

Shake
Shake the rum, curaçao, lime juice and orgeat with ice.
Strain and top
Strain into a large snifter filled with crushed ice and top with sparkling wine.
Garnish
Add the mint sprig and cherry, then dust the top with icing sugar.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
